Default 04 Shaking/vibrating

Hey,

My 04 is shaking/Vibrating when i get up to 60 MPH and it is worse when i am towing my snowmobile trailer. I was wondering if anybody had any idea what it could be?

Thanks

Could be your wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, cv joints or your brakes, rotors.

Another fairly common problem is the e brake sometimes drags causing the truck to shake pretty violently. Engage the parking brake, and release it. That is the most common solution that Ive seen. I would start there of course because its free.
